In home audio, I have seen a few different 1 watt amps. Also one set of speakers that had a 1 watt power handling. It was because the engineer thought this was best for the SQ. *shrug*

Not that this has anything to do with this. Just sharing

I remember when this amp was offered by Orion. I think the seller is looking to appeal to only those who know what the amp is about. It will actually deliver 2500 watts. There was a time when car audio manufacturers were trying to get the most watts while claiming the least watts at 4 ohms for the purpose of having 4-5 times the power that the class "allowed". Not a big issue these days, but the amp is a collectors item for those who are interested.

I simply brought it up as a novelty. An oddity that is truely rare.

While true, it always helps to have "proof of purchase" as it were... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This was the amp that single handedly ended the IASCA power classes. The funny part was that none of the other amp manufacturers complained about the obvious BS rating on the amp because all their competiton amps were rated similarly though not quite as flagrant.

BTW, one sold on eBay last week for $455 (shitty thing is the guy ended the auction early before I could even bid on it). I'm pretty sure he won't get $2k for his.

well if you look at his feedback... even though its supposed to be 100 percent positive its NOT.

everything one of his feedback is him buying something. somebody must have accidentally clicked positive and meant negative because the one person says they never got thier item. hmm...

i know exactly what this amp is "about" i was around when it came out (it came out about the same time as the orion 30-band eq concept 97.2 i think it was called). the amp is worth nowhere near that amount of money... you can get 2500 watts easily and cheaply out of ALOT of amps now a days. it may be a neat novelty, but its worth at most $600. And i certianly wouldnt spent that much without pictures. (even if the seller wants to appeal to "only those who know what the amp is about") BTW- you sound like the seller. not saying you are, but you sound like it.
